Chapter 188 - Big Blow...

"But I can't also go over your wishes. Whatever you would decide for yourself and the baby, I'll prioritise those over anything.."

"I don't want to create any trouble in your relationship with your family. It will also make a huge hindrance to others related to you which I clearly don't want. So please don't bother. And I love you.." The girl confessed with a sad smile on her face.

"I love you too.." Mr. Lopez said, before hanging up the call.

Creation…

"Willa, when is our next meeting with Brown Corporation?" Veronica asked.

"Ma'am. It's on next Tuesday." Willa informed.

"Okay.. so we have a lot of time to complete it as it is only Thursday." Veronica said.

"Yes ma'am." Willa replied as she checked the files in her hands.

Veronica nodded and looked at Willa with a scrutinized gaze, "Willa, I've been noticing you from the past few days. From the night of our family dinner in Paradise Hotel, you have changed quite a lot which seemed to be a little bit suspicious to me.

You also seemed to be lost somewhere after that day. So can you please tell me, exactly what happened to you?"

Willa became stunned by the sudden question but didn't get the courage to look at Veronica.

She bowed down her head and stammered, "Noth.. nothing happened to me Vero. You are thinking too much. Now I have some work to be done.. Bye.." Willa escaped from Veronica's cabin in a tornado like speed, making Veronica doubt on her strange behaviour more.

But she let it go for now as she had more important work to do and that is to call someone.. and that someone is Alonzo Brown..

She dialed Alonzo's number and within few seconds, he picked up, "Hello.. my sweet Vero.. Missed me?"

Veronica rolled her eyes and retorted, "Stop blabbering nonsense. I want to tell you something that's why I called you."

"And what's that?" Alonzo asked sitting on a comfy chair in his office.

"Can you meet us on this weekend in Fusion?" Veronica asked.

"Us? And who are these Us? You and your boyfriend?" Alonzo questioned back with a bit of jealousy in his voice.

Smirking at his question, Veronica replied and said, "No.. This 'US' is not me and Bennie.. Bennie has some other work to handle so he wouldn't be there this time. But instead of him, there will be my friends who are really eager to meet you.

One more thing.. Bring Myra with you. It will be a gathering of just between friends."

Alonzo furrowed his eyebrows together, thinking about the reason of this sudden get together that even with her friends. So he couldn't help but asked, "Why this sudden meet up? Why your friends want to me? Most importantly, why should I bring my sister with me?"

Veronica smiled to herself and replied, acting very much innocent, "Oh Alonzo.. My friends recently came to know about you. Like how you helped me in city B as a friend and they are very much thankful to you for taking care of me. So they just want to meet on this weekend, so that they can say you thanks properly..

And about bringing Myra.. As you very well know that she became very good friends with us, girls.. So she could also join us in our get together. Right??"

"Okay.. I'll bring her with me." Alonzo said before hanging up..

Brown Corporation..

As soon as Alonzo hung up, he called for Bill and when he came in, Alonzo immediately ordered, "Bill, Find out about Veronica and Reuben's whereabouts. What they are doing in these few days or who are they meeting and calling. Find everything about them with every bit of details.."

Bill nodded his head and left for his work..

"What are you exactly planning Veronica?" Alonzo muttered as his face became stiff with his eyebrows scrunching down together in confusion..

Smith Enterprise..

"So everything is prepared?" Reuben asked Tom.

"Yes sir. Only the last proof is remained to collect which would confirm if our assumption is right or wrong." Tom answered politely..

Reuben nodded his head and said with anger in his eyes, "If Alonzo really did, about what we are thinking right now, then what he did is totally unforgivable. "

Tom didn't reply anything but just nodded his head as he also agreed with his Boss. So he just left after he discussed everything with his boss about their upcoming strategies over the matter of one and only Mr. Alonzo Brown..

Reuben's phone rang few minutes later and he accepted the call immediately with a smile on his lips, "Hi babe.."

"Hey honey. Had you found out everything?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah.. Almost everything." Reuben replied in just few words.

Veronica pouted and said cutely, "But why are you not telling me anything about your plan, Bennie? You just told me to call Alonzo to ask him for coming at Fusion with Myra and I did it.

So now can you please tell me what is cooking in your mind?"

Reuben sighed and asked, "Honey, Do you trust me?"

Furrowing her brows, Veronica replied, "You know that better yourself Bennie.. that I trust you more than I trust myself.."

Reuben smiled at her and replied, "Then just keep trusting me.."

Sighing deeply, Veronica said, "I understand, But just tell me one thing. Why are you hiding all the things about Alonzo from me?"

Understanding her worried temperament very well, Reuben assured her, "Ica.. I'm not telling you anything because I'm not sure about my doubts.

Because whatever our assumption is, if it becomes to be the truth, then it'll be very hard to accept for everyone, specially you.. So I want to be sure first before informing you.."

"Okay.. I understand and I trust you." Veronica said after giving a sigh.

Cutting the call, Reuben closed his eyes and whispered to himself, "I hope my presumption doesn't come out to be true, Ica. If not, then it'll be a big blow on you, my love.."
